Whipple Gen 1 questions

[Steve2050]

I can get a good deal on a brand new FRPP kit that has been sitting around for a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it is a gen 1 whipple.

1) What power am I to expect by bolting it on with the 13lb pulley it comes with?

2) What else will I need to complete the install?

3) How often does a whipple need servicing?

Question 2 Speak to your tuner. <--- Most Important part is your tune

Thanks for the links for info but FRPP and Whipple claim that at 13 lb you don't need to do anything except bolt it on. I don't get it cause how does the PCM tune for 13 lb of boost when factory is at 8 lb. I think I'll blow up something without a tune at 13 lb.

Anyone want to chime in.

screw what "they" say get a tune and play it safe and smart. plus your car will run to its fullest potential safely.

You may not "need" anything else to just run the Whipple at 13psi other than a tune. But, be prepared to possibly need to buy a MAFia, BAP, and possibly injectors. These items will definitely be needed if you want to turn up the boost. And you will want to turn up the boost. :rockon:
